The 26-year-old striker was dealing with pain in his right ankle. He suffered a season-ending foot injury on the same side in February while playing for PSG.

Neymar wore a bandage under his right shoe during Wednesday’s session.

Brazil star Philippe Coutinho commented on teams being physical with Neymar when he met with reporters Tuesday.

“Neymar is targeted on the pitch, receiving lots of fouls, lots of hits,” Coutinho said. “Of course, our strength lies in the team. At one match or another, a player can be a highlight, but our strength lies in the collective. That’s the most important thing.”

The Brazilian Football Confederation said that Neymar has been under the care of team physiotherapists in the last two days and is in a process of recovery after the Switzerland match.

Brazil sits tied with Switzerland for second place in Group E after one game. Serbia leads the group after beating Costa Rica 1-0 in its World Cup opener.
